Greedfall 2 is scheduled to launch in one month, and in a first for cult RPG studio Spiders, it’s initially arriving in early access form. The devs have wanted to do early access for years, but it took the immense success of the early access graduateBaldur’s Gate 3to convince publisher Nacon to give it a shot.
“It was [Baldur’s Gate 3] that allowed us to convince Nacon to do an early access for Greedfall 2,” Spiders CEO Jehanne Rousseau told GamesRadar+ during a Gamescom interview. “I was asking to make an early access for our game for years, and they said ‘No, RPGs never work, it won’t work.’ And since Baldur’s Gate 3, it’s like ‘look it’s working, let us do it.'”
“It’s so interesting to be able to exchange with the players to improve the game,” Rousseau continued, “to make sure all the options they need to enhance their experience are inside the game. It’s exactly what I wanted to have. I want to be able to work with the community. And every game we were developing, it’s super frustrating, because you release a game, you get some nice feedback, but every time there is some feedback from players, [and we say] ‘they’re right, we should have done that.'”
Greedfall 2: The Dying World feels like Assassin’s Creed 3 meets a BioWare RPG and I’m already excited to see where it’s going
